DNHG Hiking Trip to Slovenia: Mountains and Lakes for Eid Al Fitr holidays

Slovenia is a small independent country in the heart of Europe with only 2 million inhabitants, who have managed to preserve their culture and language despite millennia of foreign domination. Previously one of the six republics of Federal Yugoslavia, Slovenia has been independent since 1991, been part of the European Union since 2004 and has adopted the Euro as a national currency in 2007.

Despite its small size, Slovenia is a country of significant biological, geographical, climatic and cultural diversity: Alps, Mediterranean, Pannonian Plain, Karst, rivers, forests, lakes and caves.  It is a place where Slavic, Romanic, Germanic and Hungarian cultures and languages meet.

With DNHG we have previously organized two successful trips to Slovenia, but this is the first time that we will venture high into Slovenian mountains for some genuine alpine landscapes and unspoiled hikes from peaks to hidden mountain lakes.

This is a 8 day hiking adventure, an exclusive program that you cannot book through a travel agency – we will walk through some previously off the limits border trails guided by our private certified mountain guide. The hike requires certain fitness levels, we will hike from 5 to 8 hrs per day (with breaks), but it is also designed the way that you can easily take a day off and just chill in a local guesthouse or a mountain lodge, should you prefer so. Time permitting (depending on flights) we will organize a visit to the capital Ljubljana on the last day.

For those interested we can extend the trip for few days and add some of the most beautiful sights of Slovenia (coast, castles, caves...).

The number of participants is limited: 10 pax only 

Cost of the trip is 1300 eur per person sharing a twin/double room.

Single rooms are subject to availability, with single room supplement additional to the above cost. 

The cost includes all transports, food (3 meals per day, B-L-D) and lodging, as well as an expert English-speaking mountain guide throughout the hike.  The cost excludes air ticket, all extras, tips and Schengen visa costs (if needed).

There are no direct flights from Dubai to Slovenia (Ljubljana). We will look for an appropriate flight closer to the date, either to Zagreb, Vienna or to Ljubljana via Istanbul. 

June – August is considered high season in Slovenia and the area where we are going has limited lodging capacities so we will have to book promptly. 500 euro prepayment will be collected to secure the booking.
